Find out interesting facts about the famous playwright, William Shakespeare.

Suitable for teaching English at KS2, in England and Wales and Northern Ireland.

We are in Stratford-Upon-Avon, just outside of London, England. We delve deep into the life of Shakespeare and what made his writing so great. The students get their chance to write their own similes in the delightfully descriptive way that Mr Shakespeare does, then they use those skills to write their own sonnet. They will learn the different parts of a sonnet to help them. Remember to use the resources in the link below:
